ALCS Game 4 Thread: Rangers @ Yankees, 5p

Tommy Hunter (0-1, 4.50) vs. A.J. Burnett (if Joe Girardi doesn't come to his senses).

COMMENTS: Just think — if the Texas bullpen hadn't coughed up five runs in Game 1 of the ALCS, the Rangers would be looking at a sweep of the Yankees tonight. Regardless, Tommy Hunter (who?) goes up against a Yankees offense hungrier than Joey Chestnut at a tapas bar. If the Rangers shut the Yankees down again, expect jeers in New York and cheers in Philly. And cheesesteaks. I prefer Jim's.

After Texas started pulling away last night, did you notice the New York "faithful" deserting the stadium last night faster than lemmings off the Titanic? And on national TV? During prime time? Yet that won't besmirch the sterling reputation of Yankees fans. Assholes.

The first game of the day was entirely unsatisfactory. Let's hope the Rangers can do some damage.

MR.F said...

So strange. I don't hate both teams playing. I only hate one. How can this be?

Orel said...

Break time. Will return for Game Two.

Josh S. said...

Hey guys, what's up?

Shawn Green said...

GIRARDI: Hey A.J., how'd you like to pitch in Game 4?
BURNETT: Joe, I'd love it!
GIRARDI: Well that's too bad, because you suck, you get into hissy fits with one of the greatest catchers of all time, and you look like you should be closing games for the Giants. Hit the pine.

(dream sequence ends)

BOB NEWHART: Honey, you won't believe the dream I just had!

MR.F said...

You're Bob Newhart?

Josh S. said...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Burnett is a Kaminoan.

Shawn Green said...

@Mr F - I'm just stating how highly unlikely it is that Girardi comes to his senses and sits Burnett.

rbnlaw said...

This yer boy, rbn.
Deuces.

Kyle Baker said...

Fuck! I have to wait 32 minutes for some more baseball?

Josh S. said...

Y'know, I've been thinking, the Yankees aren't so bad.

KIDDING!

Put down the broken beer bottles.

Orel said...

Heyman reports Lilly 3 years/$33M.

Orel said...

Starting with A.J. Burnett's, probably.

spank said...

Looks like everyone got tapped out on the Gnats game

Orel said...

Another pitching duel?

spank said...

A.J. Burnett?

Josh S. said...

3/33? Eeeehhh.

spank said...

BEAN THE MOFO

Orel said...

Cano HR. I think we'll have a review.

spank said...

Instant Replay on that homer

Orel said...

3/$33 will look reasonable by April.

Orel said...

No IR???

Orel said...

Robinson Canody Ross?

spank said...

Why have the rule if they are not going to use it. fucking idiots

Shawn Green said...

Bud Selig still gets 40 rods to the hog's head and that's the way he likes it.

spank said...

Hells no!

Orel said...

Wow, Berkman just crushed that one. 2-0 NYY

spank said...

That's fucking foul

spank said...

HaHaHa no Homerun for you Berkmutt

Orel said...

Awww, no HR. Poor Berky.

spank said...

Too bad MOFO

Orel said...

Lurk Berkman

Orel said...

Burnett plunks Molina!

Orel said...

I don't get AL teams that bunt.

MR.F said...

It's for nostalgia.

spank said...

Come on Ebonic Andrews

spank said...

Tied it up

Orel said...

Nice D by Teixeira prevents second run from scoring. 1-1 tie.

Orel said...

A-Rod triple clutch! 2-1 TEX

spank said...

More runs baby

FUCK YOU YANKMES

Orel said...

Brett Gardner = East Coast MSB

Josh S. said...

Miller and Morgan were really arguing about the Cano HR. miller said it was worth reviewing. Morgan "just knew" it was a home run.

Ass.

karen said...

You know the saying NY...Don't mess with Texas!!

Epale, Everyone!

It's nice to be able to relax and enjoy a game these days

spank said...

Hey Karen

MR.F said...

Joe Morgan. What a joke.

Orel said...

Yo Karen! Hopefully this game won't be as frustrating as the earlier one.

Orel said...

JETERGASM

spank said...

Jeter can eat Caca

MR.F said...

That triple just cured some kid's cancer. True story.

Orel said...

nice, Mr. F

Orel said...

Granderson RBI makes it 2-2.

spank said...

FUCKYOUJETER

Orel said...

Spanky, your microwave must have extra grit and hustle.

Shawn Green said...

The architects "just knew" the Titanic was unsinkable.

Scientists "just knew" the Hindenberg would not collapse.

Secret Service "just knew" nobody would try to kill Lincoln, McKinley, or Kennedy.

karen said...

@Orel--The way things are going, it remains to be seen

Orel said...

Balk!

spank said...

Fucking alarm went off and shit. there must have been moisture up in that bish

MR.F said...

Damn, Spanky.

It's a conspiracy.

Shawn Green said...

This is what happens when you trust a pitcher named Tommy.

karen said...

C'mon Vlad, it's time for you to do something

spank said...

FUCK YOU ACT II

Orvilles came out Wonderful though

spank said...

Interference!





Wait. NO

MR.F said...

A-Rod was just faking that HBP.

karen said...

A-Roid gets nailed!! YAY

karen said...

Yuck. Davey Johnson.

spank said...

Mike Maddux-The other brother

MeanieBreanie said...

Epale Y'all
Looks like tonight will be another spitting, nail picking, nail biting, crotch scratcher.

GO RANGERS!

spank said...

Hey Breanie

spank said...

Hear the bat go Swish

MR.F said...

Hello MeanieBreanie!

spank said...

I want to punch Berkmutt in the face

karen said...

Epale, Meanie!

MeanieBreanie said...

Epale Karen - How are you and Dusty Blue?

Orel said...

Now THAT'S a gun!

MR.F said...

Lancefuck maning berk.

spank said...

Oh NO! The bullpen.




Wait. This ain't the Dodgers

Orel said...

Let the crotch scratching commence!

karen said...

Meanie--It's raining here and Dusty Blue is not happy. He doesn't like having to go out to potty when it's wet outside. He loves the snow, but hates the rain :(

MeanieBreanie said...

Those friggin Yankme bastards. I knew they would not take last night's loss lying down. TX definitely has work to do.

@Karen - poor Dusty. My dogs are weird they love rain. To them it's a party. They have a covered patio but I have to make them come in.

spank said...

Damn, Could have been worse though.

karen said...

Great play at 3rd!

karen said...

Meanie--Has Nikita ever been in the snow? Dusty will dig deep holes in the snow and stick his head in them!

spank said...

They need to put some Elmer's in those bats.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Karen
Yes, when I lived in Dallas we were good for it at least once a year if not several times. She loved it! She would play and sleep in it. Baron on the other hand would just look at me like "Oh mom, do I have to go out". She may be lucky if she sees it again in her lifetime. SA has not had any snow since 1984.

Josh S. said...

I hate seeing good camera equipment get wrecked, but that's a cool shot.

MR.F said...

Moreland? More like.... less... water.

Yeah.

MeanieBreanie said...

Elvis on da base.

spank said...

Mr.F is on fire.

spank said...

Ebonic Andrews

Shawn Green said...

Ebonics Shawn Green, Ebonics Mercedes Lewis, Ebonics Elvis Andrews. How many other athletes have Ebonics names?

spank said...

I thought Mercedes Lewis was a transvestite.

MeanieBreanie said...

Ebonics BenJarvus Green-Ellis but whose complaining? He won a game for me. The best one though is Orangejello (pronounced Orangelo) A nurse at Parkland claimed a woman named her son that cuz she saw the name on a box and liked it.

Shawn Green said...

It's actually spelled "Marcedes."

spank said...

SpankJarvus. I like the sound of that

spank said...

That fan is retarded

Shawn Green said...

Alright, Hamilton, if you get a hit here, I'll treat you to a nice non-alcoholic beer.

karen said...

HaHa Gardener. It's not fun when fans get in your way, is it??

spank said...

Exactly Mlasf. Marcedes=Mercedes

Tranny

Shawn Green said...

Gameday calls that pitch a knuckle-curve. Do people still throw knuckle-curves?

spank said...

That was no good

Shawn Green said...

Argh, you suck Hamilton. Go back to rehab with Belly.

MR.F said...

Damnit! Come on guys!

karen said...

Holland looks like he's maybe 14

spank said...

Hit Jeter in the face!

karen said...

Jeter's mashing tonite =(

spank said...

You see. Hitting Jeter in the face would have been more satisfying. Like a snicker.

MeanieBreanie said...

Elvis looks ecstatic that Jeter is on his base. WTF?

karen said...

C'mon Holland. Sack up!

spank said...

The other brother.

Take a drink Y'all

MR.F said...

Jeter doubles! In related news, a starving third world village gets a Dharma Initative supply box parachuted to them. Dharma beer for all!

karen said...

Ahhhh, poor Markie!!!!

spank said...

That's a shame

MeanieBreanie said...

I hate the Yankees but cannot hate Texeira. He is an ex-Ranger, did a good job, and seemed like a down to earth guy. On the other hand the hate for A-Rod floweth over.

spank said...

This inning is taking fucking long

spank said...

Fuck yeah Josh

Orel said...

A-Rod inning-ending DP. How unJeteresque.

MR.F said...

Clutch GIDP!

Shawn Green said...

It's raining men.



No, wait, it's just raining.

Orel said...

Yeah, well not anymore it ain't.

MeanieBreanie said...

Karen and I wish it were raining men ;~)

spank said...

Seems like you minx need a fucking monsoon

MR.F said...

I have no idea what a minx is.

MeanieBreanie said...

Come on Rangers, where is that hitting mojo you had last night?

Shawn Green said...

Minx: pert, flirtatious, or impudent young woman

spank said...

Kinda like a Lynx Mr.F only with a M and an I

karen said...

Alright Rangers, RISP

MeanieBreanie said...

@Spank
A monsoon of unmarried men

LASF
I guess that would be an accurate description except the young part.

karen said...

GGGOOONNNEEEE!!!!

Orel said...

BENGIE

MeanieBreanie said...

Rangers have their hitting mojo back - YEAH!

MR.F said...

It's all about the Bengie!!

karen said...

Bronx Cheer for Yankmes

Shawn Green said...

Hooray for Bengie Molina!

MR.F said...

I like Spanky's definition.

Josh S. said...

The "I'm sorry I was a Giant" Tour rolls on!

Josh S. said...

Gozer was a nimble little minx.

spank said...

Now I've got that fucking song in my head

MeanieBreanie said...

A black fly gets in the house and finds its way to my Sauvignon Blanc. Isn't it ironic don't you think?

spank said...

Did you still drink it is what i am wondering

MR.F said...

It's like raining men on your wedding day!

MeanieBreanie said...

There wasn't much left. I tossed it and poured a fresh one. Do you really think I would drink something with a fly in it?

spank said...

No. Maybe.If you're buzzed enough,Yes.

spank said...

They need to put papier mache on dem bats.

Shawn Green said...

Lots of thunder and lightning.

MeanieBreanie said...

Mr. F
If only I knew now what I didn't know then. I got married at a hotel. I was in my wedding dress riding down the elevator with my dad and a hot guy riding with us. He looks at me and says "I have a limo out front, it's not too late" Dad looked at him and said "Are you kidding? I've waited a long time to get rid of her". I wish I would have taken the limo :~)

Orel said...

Boone Logan? Who?

Fred's Brim said...

wooot!!

spank said...

ANOTHERHOMERUNMOFO'S

MeanieBreanie said...

Another one for Texas - Yee Haw!

Orel said...

Sounds like a movie, MB.

MR.F said...

Wow, MB. True story?

Shawn Green said...

Texas/San Francisco World Series!

(cries)

MR.F said...

Non-alcoholic beer for all!!!

MeanieBreanie said...

Orel, more like a really bad soap opera.

karen said...

It's mighty quiet at Yankme Stadium

MeanieBreanie said...

Yes, true story!

MR.F said...

Philly will beat SF, MR.LASF.

Does it ever bother you that you have an "SF" in your name?

MR.F said...

Well, I guess only in abbreviations. I'll stop abbreviating your name, Mr. LA Sports Guy.

Fred's Brim said...

Wilton's brother keeps it going!

spank said...

Vlade corrale Holmes

karen said...

Meanie--Another thing we have in common...a soap opera marriage

Shawn Green said...

What's that, Mr F?

MeanieBreanie said...

Karen and I
Sisters from another mother

MeanieBreanie said...

LASF
Would it really be such a horrible thing to pull for TX in a WS?

Fred's Brim said...

score til they bleed!

spank said...

MOREFUCKINGRUNSMOFO'S

Shawn Green said...

You already know Texas is the only team I can root for in this whole mess.

MR.F said...

Nice one, MR.LASG.

I'm going to call you that from now on, even if your official handle is "Mr. LA Sports Fan."

I don't want to type out "SF" on a Dodger guy's name.

MeanieBreanie said...

TX shaming the Yankee bastards - LOVE IT!

spank said...

WHYTHEFUCKAMIEXCITED

FUCKYOUGNATS

Fred's Brim said...

@MB, back an hour or so: I think they were twins, Oranjello and Lemonjello!

karen said...

The important question is can Texas beat the Gnats??

spank said...

Shut up Karen! HaHa

MeanieBreanie said...

FB - That was a true story. I'm sure Lemonjello is out running the streets along with their other sibling Jelloshot.

Shawn Green said...

Danny DeVito loves him some limoncello.

Fred's Brim said...

mmmm jelloshots

MeanieBreanie said...

Not to worry, TX will muster up the hate for those annoying Gnats.

Fred's Brim said...

who do the yanks have singing? the remaining Ramone?

karen said...

Spanky--I know, I was afraid to voice it

Fred's Brim said...

huh? Is he going off book? or do I not know the words to this song?

spank said...

What is this shit

MR.F said...

Fucking Yankees hate America!!!

spank said...

Isn't that fucking owl or hawk or whatever fom watchmen

Fred's Brim said...

Zooey's cuter

karen said...

He did a nice job. To bad about the Yankme jacket

MR.F said...

That owl did do some fucking in Watchmen.

MeanieBreanie said...

FB - but is she a saucy minx?

Fred's Brim said...

I agree karen, he did do well

Shawn Green said...

That's an idea for EK's folder for next year's PCS season.

spank said...

Fowls Fuck

Shawn Green said...

I want bears fucking owls, EK.

Fred's Brim said...

Mr F may disagree, but I wouldn't say she was saucy naturally, but I bet she could turn it on if necessary

MR.F said...

I don't know what saucy means.

Fred's Brim said...

Owls are assholes

I actually love owls, but this makes me laugh

spank said...

It's kinda like sauce Mr.F, only with a y instead an e.

Shawn Green said...

I remember watching an old version of Romeo & Juliet, and one of the characters calls another "you saucy boy." It made me laugh for a week.

Shawn Green said...

I'm having serious trouble following a writer who uses ZOMG in a tweet.

#MNightSlamathon

Fred's Brim said...

MLASG, was that the one with some boob in it? I remember seeing that in english class in high school and being shocked (and titilated) that they would show that in school

MR.F said...

Urban dictionary:

saucy - hot chick with some attitude but not too much

Meh whatever.
